The eternal archaeological paradox! Archaeologists get super excited about finding grand lost civilizations, but the mundane stuff—like where ancient people got their building materials—remains frustratingly elusive. It's the ultimate "can see the forest but not the trees" situation in archaeology. Those quarries? Practically invisible. Meanwhile, entire cities pop up "accidentally" when someone's digging a basement or building a subway. The archaeological record is basically playing hard-to-get with researchers. Next time you're renovating your kitchen, check twice—you might accidentally discover Atlantis.
